Tuscan Sausage & Kale Soup
.
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casing removed
1/2 white onion, chopped
2 pounds of small red potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 Tbsp chicken bouillon powder
1 Tbsp Creole seasoning
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
5 cups chopped kale, stems removed
1 1/2 cups heavy cream .
1️⃣ In a large pot or Dutch oven add olive oil and heat over medium-high.
2️⃣ Add Italian sausage and chopped onion. Cook sausage until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally and breaking up the sausage as desired. (I like mine in small pieces)
3️⃣ Drain the sausage drippings from the pan.
4️⃣ Return the pot to the heat and add 8 cups of water, chicken bouillon, Creole seasoning, basil, oregano, and potatoes. (I used Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning)
5️⃣ Bring soup to a boil and let cook for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
6️⃣ Once potatoes are tender add the kale to the soup and continue to boil for another 5 minutes.
7️⃣ Once the kale has wilted add heavy cream and stir.
8️⃣ Remove from heat and enjoy!
